Hey all! I just imported 2008 total photos(!) from my camera roll on my iPhone, and about half of them are photos that I actually took with my phone, and the other half are saved photos, screenshots, memes, etc.

I really don't want to import all the excess stuff into my photo library. Is there a way to filter out just the photos that were taken with the iPhone's camera? I can't seem to find an easy way to sort by EXIF data... Maybe using Automator?

Thanks!

You could try running a search for 'Device Model' in Finder.

I just tried it and it seems to work if you use the exact model name (ie, iPhone 11)
